Cuba

Until recently, American citizens have been unable to travel to Cuba legally. Those days have ended. As such, there is much need in Cuba and there is interest on the part of Anglicans in Cuba in connecting with churches in the USA. The following are some possible contacts for parishes interested in exploring mission opportunities in Cuba:

The following is an address for a rural priest who is interested in developing a relationship between his church and a church in the ECUSA. As the church is rural, there is no email and he offered no phone.

         St. Andrew's Church
         Julio a Mella No. 38
         Manatí-Los Tunas CP77100
         Cuba

The Very Rev. Juan Ramón de la Paz Cerezo, Dean of the Cathedral, is another possible connection for churches pursuing a relationship with a Cuban church:
